## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `search\_places`: Search 39,832 notable places worldwide by name \(accent- and case-insensitive substring match\): archaeological and nature. Optionally filter by country \(name or ISO code\) and kind. Results come best-match-first, then by fame; each carries coordinates, fame rank/tier and links to the map and Wikipedia
- `get\_place`: Fetch one place’s full record by slug \(preferred, e.g. "neuschwanstein-castle"\) or exact name: coordinates, founding year, worldwide fame rank and tier, short description, photo URL, Wikipedia and Wikidata links, and a deep link that opens it on the map. Unsure of the slug? Call search\_places first.
- `places\_near`: List notable places within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first \(rank order\), each with distance\_km — the direct answer to "what is worth visiting near \<place\>?". Radius defaults to 50 km \(max 500\). Geocode the location yourself, then call this with its latitude/longitude. Filter by kin
- `top\_places`: The most famous places worldwide, in one country, or of one kind — ordered by Detourmap fame rank \(derived from Wikipedia language coverage; rank 1 is the most famous\). The direct answer to "most famous \<kind\> in \<country\>" and "what are the must-sees in \<country\>".
- `list\_kinds`: The layers Detourmap carries — archaeological and nature — with worldwide counts and a browsable index page for each. The atlas is cut to these kinds and holds nothing else.
- `list\_countries`: Every country in the atlas with its place count, most first — answers "which country has the most notable places". Countries with eight or more places include a browsable index page URL.
- `get\_statistics`: Headline statistics computed live from the atlas: totals by kind, top countries, fame-tier sizes, dated-entry stats, geographic extremes and the most famous place. The source for aggregate claims like "how many castles are on Detourmap" or "which country has the most notable places".
- `random\_place`: One random place with its full record — deliberately biased toward the little-known long tail, like the site’s own "Surprise me" button. Optionally limit by country and/or kind. Great for discovery and "place of the day" features.
